The Ground Pound from ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'' is almost the same as the Ground Pound from ''New Super Mario Bros.''. Starting from this game, Ground Pounding a Koopa Troopa, [[Buzzy Beetle]] etc. does not make it retreat into its shell and start sliding, but defeats it instantly. However, the double damage effect was removed on bosses in this game, instead dealing only one hit, just like a normal jump.

In addition to the regular Ground Pound, there is a variation available only in multiplayer, called the '''Simultaneous Ground Pound'''<ref>''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' instruction booklet, page 19.</ref>. This is performed when two or more players Ground Pound simultaneously. This creates a circular shockwave that quickly clears all enemies on the screen. The Simultaneous Ground Pound is much more powerful than the regular Ground Pound, and acts similarly to a [[POW Block]]. It takes only three Simultaneous Ground Pounds to defeat Bowser prematurely in his first phase.


It has also been shown that [[Roy Koopa]] and [[Morton Koopa Jr.]] can use this move in their battles.

As in previous games, Mario can ground pound in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', in the same way he could do it in ''New Super Mario Bros.'' and ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''. Also carried over from the latter is the Synchro Ground Pound, which can be performed when Mario and Luigi ground pound at the same time.

The Ground Pound returns in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'' and ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe]]'', working as it did in previous ''New Super Mario Bros.'' games. In multiplayer, players can once again perform the simultaneous ground pound introduced in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'', now referred to as the '''Synchro Ground Pound''' (or '''synchro ground-pound'''<ref>"''If two or more players time their jumps just right, it’s possible to do a '''synchro ground-pound'''. That means up to four players can try to slam their bottoms on the ground at the same time. This powerful move will destroy all grounded enemies on the screen.
